G5 
I played a wedding for the money,  
      G5                   G5                 C5 
and I wished that I could tell the bride and groom 
     D5                 D5 
Just what I thought of marriage 
    C5                             G5 
And what in store after their honeymoon 
          G5 
and I was grumblin' to the dancers 
          G5             G5            C5 
'bout how men and women ought to live apart 
          D5                             C5  
And how a promise never made can not be broken 
        D5                G5 
And can never break your heart 
  
When sudenly from out of nowhere 

A little girl came dancing 'cross the floor 

All her crinolines were billowing 

Beneath the skirt of calico that she wore 

Oh what a joy fell on the honored guests 

As each of them was drawn inside her dream 

And they laughed and clapped and stomped their feet 

And hollered at her "Dance little Jean" 
   G5   C5                        G5 
        Dance, little Jean, this day is for you 
            G5          E5    A5                   D5 
        two people you love, stood up and said "I do" 
        C5                      G5 
        Dance little Jean, the prayer that you had 
              C5 
        Was answered today 
                    D5            G5 
        Your mama's marrying your dad 
  
Well, my cynical heart just melted 
'Cause I knew what this get together meant 
How it ended year of tears and sad confusion 
That the little girl had spent 
Well they told the band to pack it up 
About the time the couple cut the cake 
But we played as long as they stayed 
For love and laughs and little Jeanie's sake 
  
        (Chorus)
